“Echoes of What Was—Just Isn’t Here”
People are what life is sometimes about;
Just listen, you’ll hear them shout.
I hate this, and I hate that;
Eat this, not that, or you’re going to get fat.
I say, “Let’s turn back the hands of time.”
Things were sure different in the Biblical time.
People couldn’t be picky back then:
Some lived in stone caves or a wooden den.
They didn’t have all the choices of today;
No TV, cell phone or cable to pay.
Mother Nature was their prime entertainment;
Hunting for food, water, and clothing was their amusement.
Back then it was harder to survive than today.
We have things much easier, I should say.
People today can’t see the peaceful light;
All they want to do is hate and fight.
Back then to kill was to feed a family;
Today it’s breaking one up sadly.
God never planned life this way.
If he had done so, we wouldn’t be here today.
Let’s stop the hate and the killing, please.
Love each other. It’s better to please
For God made this world for all to live;
With His son Jesus, He did give…
Us, the freedom to love and be sin free.
What is so hard about living peacefully?
